You’re right— I’m just making excuses. Why am I so 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 All of the time? “You get more sleep Than 99 percent Of your friends,” You said. So doesn’t that mean I am supposed to be Happy? “Be happy,” I say to myself In my head. I am supposed to be Fine. But I am not, And all I have left Is excuses. And yet, Why do I look for more? I want somebody To tell me That you are not right. But I know you are.
